I make no apologies for how ugly this is. Or any claims that it
works, for that matter, though I have tested it out and it seems
to be okay.
I hate leaving things to chance, so it can spot whether a full
path is given, whether a path within the home dir is given, or
whether it's just a directory to plonk on the end. Not very clear
to the end user, so it deals with assumptions.

Anyway...
